NFL Draft Day 2: Top 25 available

16. Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise St., Jr.: He had a prolific senior season -- 10½ sacks, 20½ tackles for loss -- but he lacks a true position in the NFL. Still, he reminds me of the 49ers Ahmad Brooks and you can never have enough pass rushers.

17. Derek Carr, QB, Fresno St., Sr.: He has one of the strongest arms in this draft class, but I wasn't impressed with his performance against the Bulldogs toughest opponents. Regardless, he won't last long today.

18. Cyrus Kouandjio, T, Alabama, Jr.: The health of Kouandjio's surgically repaired knee kept him out of the first round. There's still a significant talent here if his physical checks out.

19. Tom Savage, QB, Pittsburgh, Sr.: Savage has exceptional arm strength, and his release is reminiscent of Tom Brady, which should allow him to make quick, accurate throws at the next level.

20. Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech, Jr.: The prolific Red Raider's 106 receptions and 1,352 yards -- a Football Bowl Subdivision single season record for a tight end -- place him close to the top of a very weak draft class.

21. Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana, Jr.: Good size and 4.4 speed will cause most wide receivers to claim up draft boards, even if you played at Indiana.

22. Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois, Sr.: Garoppolo's quick release, tight mechanics and eye-popping production combined with his East-West MVP, strong Senior Bowl, combine and pro day performances almost guarantees he falls no further than the second round.

23. Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon St., Jr.: Crichton will give a team a solid versatile rotation player who can play against the run, pass and shift inside to apply interior pressure.

24. Marcus Martin, C, USC, Jr.: Martin plays with the tenacity and physicality you love to see from a center. He can anchor against top-flight nose tackles, and is spry enough to get into the second level and block a linebacker 10 yards downfield.

t25. Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood, Sr.: Desir is another one of my favorite players in this draft. His size, athleticism and work ethic will allow him to contribute from day one.

t25. Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska, Sr.: The former wide receiver is a physical freak for the position, in the mold of Richard Sherman.
